9
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: came in as a quarterback and he like switched the

10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: tight end, so you know, he blocked for me, you know,

11
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: and I blocked for him to get the ball and

12
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: all that stuff. So great, great chemistry. But it was

13
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: great to say I want to bach Bachelorette, but he

14
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,440

00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna lie, But like you know, everything is

17
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,199

20
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,800

21
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: went back home, I had to like a little episert

22
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: for Fau to like, you know, talking about the show.

23
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: But the rest of them, guys, I a't really seen nothing.

24
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 1: You feel me like you're not biased or anything, but

25
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: you thought he should have won. Yeah, you just look

26
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: at him and see, like, you know, the perks and

27
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: the good things and the type of person he is,

28
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: and he's good with people, like he's good with just anybody,

29
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 1: and like that's the type of person for her. I

30
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, she would love because he's not

31
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: the jealous type. He's the type that's like willing to,

32
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: you know, be open and figure things out. But I

33
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: don't know, man, you know, it is what it is.

34
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 1: I think one person that would really appreciate this conversation

00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: would be John Harris, our sideline reporter, because him and

50
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: you're having in preseason. You got a lot of carries,

51
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: did a lot of nice things on special teams. But

52
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: how much fun is it for you to get get

53
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: to do a little bit more on offense here in

54
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: these games. It's fun, man, Getting back in that groove

55
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: and getting back to running the ball. It's something that

56
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: you know, that's what you know, that's why I live for.

57
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: But you know, playing my role and doing my doing

58
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: my thing on special teams, that's what I'm That's what

59
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: they got me here for. But when I get the

60
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: opportunity run a rock, I don't know, it's fun. Man.

61
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: It's been a minute since I got fifteen carries, and

62
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: to have an opportunity, I was just like I was

63
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: feeling it and it felt good. And that's you know,

64
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: I'm glad I was able to go out there, so

65
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: you know, the people when I'm don't capable of because

66
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: it's probably been a little minute and you know, practice,

67
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: you can't really get a two test. But when it's

68
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: time and actually takes somebody, for somebody to take you

69
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: to the ground, then it's like, okay, let's see the

70
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: real deal. So I had fun out that you got

71
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: to touchdown. Your teammates were celebrating with you. That running

72
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: backs group. It's such a competitive position right now, but

73
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: it seems like you guys are all very close and

74
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: tight knit, doesn't Oh yeah, man, it's like a brotherhood.

75
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: Like it's no, it's no hate in the group. It's

76
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: all love and we all just want to basically grow

77
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: and learn. So we got a group that's willing to learn,

78
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: willing to do anything for each other and do anything

79
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: for the team to be successful. So it's not like

80
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 1: the competition is there. But at the end of the day,

81
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: being in this business, being in this sport, it's always

82
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: a competition. Well is it? Because several of you are

83
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: from Florida, You've got the Florida bond going on. Oh yeah,

84
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: but no, I'm good with all of them. I'm good

85
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: with you know, I'm good with hig, I'm good with Croc,

86
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: I'm good with Gully, I'm good with time, I'm good

87
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: with jobs. Like I'm gonna go with everybody's Like, it's

88
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: just I don't know. I think we got a great team.

89
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: You know, we gotta you know, coach Obi does a

90
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: good job of bringing in guys that are like team players,

91
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: just got good vibes and no animosity. So just like

92
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: having that type of group that's like, you know, we

93
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: don't feel like, you know, although Lamars to start and

94
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: the older guy, we don't feel like like we have

95
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: to like bow down to him, like we can talk

96
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: to him, just like we can talk to each other.

97
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: So like having that type of vibe in the group

98
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: and with our coach too, like we could talk to

99
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: him about anything. So when you're comfortable and you can

100
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: have open conversations in your relationship, it's tight like that.

101
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: You know, it's like competition is that? But she just

102
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: really just out having fun at the end of the day.

103
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: Did you grow up watching Lamar? I know he's not

104
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: that much older than you, but you were playing football

105
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: in Florida. How much did you see of him and

106
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: how much do you know about him before you got here? Um? Now,

107
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: I knew about Lamar, But the one I watched the

108
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: most is Dude. Like when I was in high school

109
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: and when I was going to high school, he was

110
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: actually in high school playing, So I watched his highlight

111
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: tape and watched him do a lot of things down

112
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: in South Florida a lot. So I watched more Dude

113
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: than Lamar, just because around that time, you know, internet

114
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: was popping and it was easy to watch YouTube, and

115
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: he was all over the place. But I also got

116
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: a glimpse at Lamar when he was at Killing and

117
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: when he was at you M, So I kind of

118
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: saw both. But like if you want to like choue aspect,

119
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: when I was actually old enough to like realize what's

120
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: going on, Yeah, I watched a lot of Dude Johnson

121
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: because he was just fun to watch. I don't know,

122
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: if you'll go to look at his highlight tape from

123
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: high school, you're like, man, what is this like? Do

124
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: you tell them these things you told the running backs

125
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: in your room? I told dude, Man, I say, man,

126
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: you over here, you know you're in the age. We're

127
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: waiting for the old Dude. I just say that all

128
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: the time, you know, because you know, probably been kind

129
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: of quiet since he was in Cleveland. But now that

130
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: he's in Houston, we got a chance, you know, show

131
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: the world with he's capable of man great players. So

132
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: I'm just waiting for the old dude. That's what I

133
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: keep telling them. What do you look working on? You've

134
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: got a few more weeks here of the preseason left,

135
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: it's week three heading into Dallas. What are some things

136
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: that you're trying to get better off? Um, obviously special teams.

137
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: Just make shot know my assignments at all times. That's

138
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 1: something that you know, I praise myself ons just knowing

139
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: what you gotta do, being in the right place at

140
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: the right time. And as a running back, just you know,

141
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: continue to learn the playbook inside and out. Read defenses

142
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: know when they're gonna blitz stuff that you know, if

143
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 1: you're not paying attention, can catch you off guards. So

144
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: just being on top of everything and probably not getting

145
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: all the reps in practice, but taking mental reps. That's

146
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: something that's very important, taking mental resps when you're not

147
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: actually getting the physical reps, because that keeps you prepared.

148
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: So just like when I got in the game. Later

149
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 1: the game, it wasn't like, oh, he doesn't know what

150
00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: he's doing. Like I knew what I was doing. I

151
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: knew what I had to do, and I knew what

152
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: I had to do to make the team be successful.

153
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,080
